Remember Schwantz showing up at various GP’s with “Lucky Strike” missing from his bike and leathers? Suzuki did too and hooked Australia (yes, it is still there) up with 50 of these examples back in 91. I had no idea these were the real deal until a collector here in the U.S. got his hands one. Yeah,…
This 1991 Gixxer is one of the last air-oil cooled 1100 produced (the very last was the 1992 edition). It has covered just above 44.000 km. These bigger capacity Suzukis are very reliable and given the conditions in which it is presented, you will be able to cover at least as much extra mileage without…
Forget all of those tempermental Italian twins: Here is a “made in the USA” model that worked nearly as well (American made except for ancillary components and engine, of course). Unfortunately The Motor Company didn’t have great interest in sport bikes – nor did the majority of their customers. Erik Buell’s magnificent creations languished on…

And you guys thought we listed a lot of Bimota’s. It has been a dream Fall for buyers in the market for KZ1000R ELR’s. This one is another beauty with less than 3,000 miles and looking like it just came out of the showroom. It apparently is still riding on the original tires as well.…
At auction today is a CBR900 Fireblade road bike with Repsol livery. The key to this machine is that was purportedly owned by GP Legend Michael “Mick” Doohan. Currently third in the standings when it comes to outright world titles in the top series class (behind Agostini and Rossi), Mick remains a popular figure and…
